Spell Book

Need a fun Halloween craft? The idea for these books comes from Better After. When I find things like this, I worry it won't work. I want to make sure a real human being has tried to make the craft (we've all seen some awful Pinterest fails). This craft, however, is not one of them. Very easy to make, and the directions from the site are spot on.

 

Begin with an old book. The original site uses plastic Halloween directions, but I used wooden cut outs from the craft store. Otherwise, I followed the exact directions. (Note: used rub n' buff, not metallic craft paint. Both suggested on the site) 

Perfect for displaying at the Halloween party!

 

Halloween Bling

Time to get ready for Halloween, and there is no better way to be festive than with some new seasonal bling. Come October, the craft stores are filled with cute charms, décor, and Halloween crafting guides.

The easiest jewelry to make is bracelets made with memory wire (above). First, cut a piece of memory wire to desired length and add the color beads you want, and then put a charm on each end of the wire. This is an easy craft for beginners, but will impress everyone at the annual Halloween party.

Black cat cross your path? If not, here is some good luck for you: many craft stores sell unusual pendants for every occasion. If you want a quick, fun craft, choose out a pendant, make some adjustments, and attach it to a necklace (left). Fast, easy, and ready in time for Halloween!
